day.
 Officer George Hyde arrested small boy yesterday for skating, or as it was termed on the police slate, Sabbath breaking. A well known citizen said last night: "I think it a shame that any young lad should be brought before a court and his name maligned for any such offence as skating on Sunday. For it is really no offence. I don't intend to up hold wrongdoers, but think mistake was made in this case.n

Singing Hymns at the East End Poor
 Mission in Lond0n

Mission i'm Londen.
 LONDON, Jan. 2.-Lady Colin Campbell's first appearance in public since the trial was at meeting under the auspices of the East End poor mission. She received warm greeting. The audience was composely solely of women who crowded about Lady Camp bell with enthusiasm and kept her busy handshaking. The object of all this sympa- thy looked bright and was in lively mood, laughing merrily when some of the girls cried in jest, "Where's Lord Colina' The chairwoman in her prayer gave thanks for the vindication of the dear sister who stood before them as one free from all blame and who was honored indeed. These expressions drew ont running fire of ''amens." Lady Campbell sang two hymns, the audience joining in the chorus.
 The refusal of General Butler to appear as witness for Lady Campbell in the recent trial is still subject of dis cussion in club circles and elsewhere. The Army and Navy club have not decided whether or not to invite him to resign. Though there is no doubt that his conduct is disapproved by the great majority of the members, there is also feeling that his previous high character as 8 gentleman and an officer entities him to con- sideration General Butler has the sympathy of his most intimate friends, who maintain that the sole reasen for his non appearance was his religious scruples in regard to testimony under oath.
 Lord Cambell's appeal from the recent yer dict will be heard Jan. 15. The court which is to hear the appeal is to consist of Sir James Hannon and one judge of the Queens bench division. Sir James will oppose reopening of the case and if the other judge concurs with him Lord Colin will have to appeal to the House of Lords. His persistence is attri- buted to promptings by the Queen, who is galled by the family connection of Lord Lorne, her son in-law, with woman whom the court regards as a blighted character.

A corps of Denv er and Rio Grand

in making a survey from Salt Lake

THE Ex-SUEvEKcR GEN.

About two weeks ago tine editor
of the APPEAL went to the noun
Tins around Lake Tahoe. He was |
compelled to take this trip prepare
tory TO entering into journalistic
struggle with Mr.. Christopher
Powning, the intellectual giant OF
the Reno Journal. In our humble |
opinion any man who assays such a
desperate encounter ought to rest
in the cool and invigorating air OF
the mountains, drink the strongest
mineral water and subsist excius-
lively on fish diet. On our return
we find that the Journal, instead OF
answering the plain charges made
by the APPEAL, has made the regu-
lar old lime Acknowledgements OF their
truth by calling us a combination OF
abeef and ignorance" and alluding
to our s.filthy and diseased BRAIN
About fifty years ago an editor who
wrote like that was considered great
in the Southern portions OF Missouri
and Arkansas, but we must take
this occasion to inform our Adde'S
cent and blonde contemporary IN
Reno that no wholly sober writer
ever makes use of them. They
mean nothing, and only cause
smile with persons of ordinary IN
telligence. Translated into plain
English they mean, "All you say
about me is true, and will prove
to YOU that / am backyard as
well.'' The ex-Surveyor General
says:
Mr.. Powning may not have man
aged his Office we'll, still he tried to
do so. and although removed by the
President, he challenges an investl-
CATION OF his management III COM
parison with either his predecessors
or successors.
The above has no special weight
when one considers that "challeng-
ing investigation" is an old thread
bare dodge, and generally resorted
to by persons who know perfectly
well that there Will be an investiga-
ton whether it is challenged or not,
We never heard, however, OF these
people challenging an investigation
until they were pretty certain thai
the investigation could no longer b'
STAYED off.
The most noticeable thing abou
Mr.. Powning's reply is the TACT
and it is brim full of significance
that while the APPEAL made no hin
of an investigation of Mr.. Powning
official conduct, nor did 1t ever hin
at any irregularity in his office, h
gets up in a woeful sputter AM
challenges an investigation.
1t seems rather curious that Mr.
Powning is all the while laborin
under the idea that his official cor
duct is about to be made the sub
ject of official inquiry. From whs
we can learn of the affair we ar
willing to admit that for once MI
Powning's judgement is not
fault.

An accommodation train on the Missouri Pa

coaches, left Independence, NO., crowded
with passengers for Kansas City Near Rock
Creek Station the passenger train was tele.
scoped in the rear by the Wichita express,
consisting OF eighteen coaches, all heavily

the debris. Conductor H. H. Noland was
badly injured. Matt Chapman, baggage
master of the accommodation train, suffered
a broken leg and other injuries, and Edward
Milton, an employee of Solomon H. Reed,
of Independence, was also seriously hurt.
A large number of passengers on both
trains injured themselves in trying to break
through the windows. The accident was
caused by the failure of the train dispatcher
to notify the conductor of the express that
the accommodation train had preceded him
Most Of the passengers on both trains were
coming to see President Cleveland.

WISE WORDS.
Live up to your engagements.

Live up to your engagements.
Never be idle, for work prevents pow
erty.
Good character is above all things
else.
1t is better to be nobly remembered
than to be nobly born.
Do not be guided by the impulse of
the moment, but by your best cultured
judgment.
Let friendship gently creep to a height; !;
if it rush to it, 1t may soon run itself out
of breath.
Men love to hear of their power, but
have an extreme disrelish to be told of
their duty.
The wise prove, and the simple con-
fess, by their conduct, that a life of en-
ployment is the only life worth leading.
To be amended by little cross. afraid
of little sin, and affected by little
mercy, is good evidence of grace in the
soul.
Polish is easily added if the founda-
tions are strong; but no amount OF gid
ing will be Of use if your timber is not
sound.
If we bring into one days thought the
evil of many, certain and uncertain,
what will be and what will never he,
our load will be as intolerable as it is un-
reasonable.
It is enough that we have swallowed
these truths, we must feed them as in
sects on a leaf, till the whole heart be
colored by their qualities, and show its
food in every, the minutest, fiber.

Our Disappearing Forests.

In little while this Garth will not be
decent place of habitation. An earth
without vast forests cannot maintain its
inland water supply and the propersoil
conditions for the needs of agriculture.
Our forests are disappearing with fright
full rapidity. In this country we have
less than 500, 600, 900 acres of forest area,
and the consumption is more than 90,
600, 600, 900 cubic feet annually. This
does not include the enormous annual
losses from forest fires. The forests
within easy reach will be practically ex-
hausted before any new crop started can
be ready for use, or can be of any ma
terial service in maintaining the proper
rainfall. Milwaukee Sentinel.

COTTON FIREIN LANCASTER.

Destruction of 100 Bales Of Cotton, n
Depot, Two Warehouses and a small
Building.
A dispatch from Lancaster, s. c., says: A
fire broke out here on Saturday, which burn
ed the depot of the Cheraw and Chester Rail
road Company and most of the contents of
the same, and also about 100 bales of cotton,
which had just been placed on the platform
of the depot ready for shipment. There
were also consumed two warehouses of Heath
Springs & Co., which stood adjacent to the
depot, with large amount of goods and
merchandise There was also small tenant
house standing near burnt down. The fire
originated in the cotton, which was standing
on the depot ready for shipment, and when
first seen was blazing from bale of cotton.
1t is not known how the fire got there, but it
is supposed to have been accidental. The
wind was high, and the fire could not be con-
trolled.
Heath, Springs & Co.'S loss is very consid-
erable They had no insurance on the ware
stored therein. There was probably eight or
ten thousand dollars worth of goods in the
warehouse, most of which was destroyed. 1t
is presumed the railroad company had in
surance on the cotton on its platform. How
much loss was sustained by other merchants
from loss in goods in the depot is not known.
AT this time the entire loss of property will
probably reach $4,000 or s25,OOO.
Our cotton buyers have means, and this
accident will not impede the purchase of
cotton at this place. The public will be ac-
commodated. Let the cotton come forward
